This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE16X10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE16X10S in place of this model. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10S is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE16X10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10S
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP16X10S keeps its 8 mm rod extended by spring and retracts it with air pressure from 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi) up to 1.0 MPa. Net of the return spring it delivers 53.3 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa, so it suits light retraction and clamp-release work in a 16 mm bore. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod carry a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and the -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits inside tight jigs, small guards and compact gantries. For sizing, treat about 32 N (roughly 3.2 kg of pull) as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 2.7 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ATE16X10, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE16X10S (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 53.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 83.5 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10S Is Used
Fixture clamp release
Spring-extended hold on a small machined bracket, released by 53.3 N of air pull at 0.5 MPa when the valve fires - fails to the clamped position on air loss.
Position-flag retraction on a packaging line
The fitted -S magnet drives a CMSE switch so the PLC confirms the 10 mm retract of a light gate or chute flag at up to 500 mm/s.
Sample-lift in a compact lab module
Lifts about 2.7 kg vial trays vertically inside a tight enclosure where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10S with the ATE16X10S
Size by force first: if 53.3 N of pull at 0.5 MPa is marginal for your part weight, step up to the ATP20X10S (88.1 N at 0.5 MPa); if it is well above your need, the ATP12X10 (25.9 N) saves space. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the standard range for bore 16, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. The female M4x0.7 rod thread takes I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. On air loss the spring returns the rod to its extended home position - it does not hold a mid-stroke point. Order the ATE16X10 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE16X10S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10S FAQ
Net of the return spring: 53.3 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the minimum 0.2 MPa is what it takes to overcome the spring and retract the rod.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted and CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body. The model itself is discontinued - the ATE16X10 is the current drop-in, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
